Ways to Give

There are many ways to make a meaningful contribution, including a memorial, tribute or dedication, or a planned gift such as a bequest, life insurance policy or trust.

One-Time or Monthly

Donating to the greatest needs or a special program/project ensures all of our programs can be offered free of charge. Your gift provides funds for needs such as pizza dinners served to families in our Evening Program, scholarships for summer campers, community education for helping professionals and free grief support to help grieving families.

Memorial or Tribute Gifts

Donating in memory of a friend or loved one, or honoring a friend, family member, colleague or Fernside staff member or volunteer with a tribute gift given in their name, is an excellent way to support Fernside’s mission.

Sponsorships

You can also sponsor a program, a year of grief support for a family, a camp experience for one or more campers or a pizza dinner at one of our group meetings in memory or honor of a loved one.

Planned Gifts

Thank you for leaving a legacy with a planned gift that will help Fernside continue to provide future services to grieving families in our community. We can work with you to make a bequest, establish a charitable trust or annuity or name Fernside as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or individual retirement account. We have several resources to get you started. We are here to help you when you are ready.

In-Kind Gifts

Donations of gift cards and expressive arts materials support our Evening and School programs. Please see our list of needed items here.
